7.7 Paging

Your system provides an all-call or a zone page feature that you access by dialing special codes. This arrangement sounds your voice announcement through the telephone speakers or through an external paging unit.

Your system installer can interface a dedicated paging port or a spare line port with an external paging amplifier. You can then access the paging amplifier and select specific zones for paging, if applicable, by dialing codes on your station. The dedicated paging port does not support any “talk-back’ capability even if such a feature is provided by the external equipment. Your system installer can also arrange a line port for external paging interface. The system precedes an announcement through the paging port with an alerting tone and installers can choose between an intercom tone or a DTMF signaling tone for this paging alert tone. They usually choose the intercom tone for a soft alert and choose the DTMF tone for a loud alert.

• If your system provides an external paging unit,

1.LIFT handset.

2.PRESS INTERCOM AND CHOOSE one of the following options:

•DIAL extension number of station equipped and enabled for paging (see programming section of this user’s guide), or

•PRESS paging button assigned by the installer, or

•DIAL 89 for special paging port.

3.MAKE announcement.

4.HANG UP to end.

All-call paging allows you to receive announcements through the station speaker at once. The system can also send all-call paging to the paging port where it applies it to the input of an external paging amplifier. Origination of announcements must be via your station handset. The system installer enables your station’s ability to receive and originate all-call paging at a station.
